history

The venue was inaugurated in 1941; At that time still under the name Odense Stadium and only slightly changed until the renovation in 1996. The first changes were made in 1965. The stadium was given a 400 Lux powerful floodlighting and grandstand got a little renovation. From 1990 to 1996 the Odense BK reached the European Cup with the exception of 1992. As a result, the city council decided to rebuild the 50-year-old stadium.

On September 26, 1997 three of the four grandstands were completed and were inaugurated with the game Odense BK against FC Copenhagen . Two months later, the last tier was built and one of the most modern stadiums in Denmark was in Odense at the time. For the 2002/03 season, UEFA tightened the requirements for stadiums in the European Cup. The Danish association Dansk Boldspil Union (DBU) adopted the guidelines for the stadiums of the Danish Superliga . From summer 2004, modernization took place for a year. At the end of the renovation, the stadium was renamed Fionia Park . It became a soil heating installed and the main grandstand extended (with VIP boxes). Various events take place in the stadium's premises, such as B. Conferences, receptions, trade fairs, press conferences and celebrations of all kinds. With these measures, the venue was up to date.

Today the arena offers 15,761 seats (13,963 seats). The largest number of visitors after the renovation in 1997 came together on May 13, 2009 in the stadium. 15,486 spectators watched the game Odense BK against FC Copenhagen (3-2) on the penultimate matchday of the 2008/09 season . Next to the Nature Energy Park is the Odense Athletic Stadium; in which FC Fyn played its home games.

At the beginning of May 2010, the club announced that the stadium will bear the sponsorship name TRE-FOR Park until 2015 . The Danish energy company TRE-FOR pays a double-digit million amount in Danish kroner for the naming rights. In June 2018 it was named after the Danish biogas company Nature Energy.

The grandstands

The naming rights of the individual ranks were sold to the Albani Brewery, the Barfoed Group and 3F Insurance. The mood stand was named after Richard Møller Nielsen , who led Denmark to the European Championship in 1992.
